Pumpkin and Apple Strudel

In autumn the sun apparently wants to remind us that we live in the country with the highest concentration of Unesco sites worldwide. WIth its golden nuances the sun lights angles that we almost forgot, a monumen, a 'palazzo', a frieze or a decoration that we never noticed. Sunrays warm the heart and the body from winter coldish that apparently wants to lean out with thunder rains, sudden fogs and the gradual cooling. If it's not yet the time for huge cups of hot chocolate around the fireplace, it's true that we can start appreciating some cake with autumn flavours. Then we start experimenting with season's ingredients, possibly 0miles.

Puff pastry
Apples
Baked Pumpkin
Cinnamon
Liquorice
Cloves
Nutmeg
Red wine (Chianti or similar)
Extra virgin olive oil
Butter
Refined sugar
Honey


Warm butter and oil with spices, add the peeled apples chopped in cubes and the mashed pumkin pulp (see  the pancake of baked pumpkin), raise the flame and add red wine, evaporate the alcohool. Spread out the puff pastry dough in a baking tray covered with parchment paper, add the apple, pumpkin, spices, close the dough as for the strudel and bake in a warm oven (200°C/400°F) till cooked, approx. 30'.
